David Gross, Commissioner of Professional Lacrosse, was excited to unveil the new plans and seemed thrilled to be working with Marty Elliott, Executive Director/General Manager for KSU Sports and Recreation Park. Gross stated, ” Marty gets it. She understands that events have to work for all parties involved.”

For years, lacrosse has certainly had a place in Atlanta’s college and high school sports, and the addition of a Major League team would positively impact the surrounding cities and the Kennesaw community and University. A variety of events will build awareness and excitement for the professional sport in hopes that the community will rally around and welcome MLL. The Syracuse University Lacrosse team will host a youth camp in Rome, GA, June 2nd-6th, and will include MLL stars like Joel White and John Galloway, both Rattlers players. The Summer Jam tournament, June 7th-9th, will feature a High School All-Star game to be played Saturday night in front of dozens of college coaches and scouts. The All-Star game will showcase players from the AA High School Elite Division.

Kennesaw State Athletics will also kick off the inaugural year of women’s lacrosse on February 10th at Vanderbilt. The first home game will be played at KSU Stadium against Coastal Carolina on March 2nd.

“Lacrosse is an emerging sport in Atlanta and one of our key pillars of future growth,” said Dan Corso, Executive Director of the Atlanta Sports Council. “We plan on fully supporting this game and recruiting future lacrosse events to the region.”

Tyvek Wristbands and Ticket Printing

Event organizers, venue owners and festival producers are always worried about the security of their patrons. One of the easiest and least expensive ways to manage attendees and monitor people's entry into different areas, or control under-age drinking is with an event wristband. Age verified wristbands are the best solution for events that allow the sale of alcohol. Check someone's ID once, place a wristband on them and you won't need to check their ID every time they purchase alcohol. Tyvek wristbands are also great for identifying guests who have already paid to enter the event or VIP guests. For low-cost Tyvek wristbands with free shipping visit EventWristbands.com
